Alonnah: AYMH - Mt Hagen -> Facing East - Waghi
Few places in Papua New Guinea have a history as closely tied to the opening of the Highlands to the outside world as Mount Hagen. The city grew after Australian expeditions entered the Wahgi Valley in 1933, encountering farming communities whose intensive cultivation long predated colonial administration. Today it is the commercial centre of Western Highlands Province, serving settlements across a densely populated upland basin. Mount Hagen Airport at Kagamuga links the city with other parts of the country, while Mount Hagen rises above the surrounding highlands. The annual Mount Hagen Cultural Show brings together dancers and groups from across Papua New Guinea, presenting ceremonial dress, music and regional traditions. The Wahgi River runs through the valley, whose productive gardens remain central to local life.
